Which disc brake compound?
We offer 4 different compounds in our disc brake pads, each offering different levels of brake performance. Are you looking for performance or long life from your disc pads? Which compound is best suited for you? Below is a description of each compound to help you select the right pad for your riding style and conditions.
Semi Metallic - This compound provides high power, consistent performance, quick bedding in time, and a strong initial bite. Good value all purpose pad for a wide vareity of riding styles.
Kevlar - Race spec compound with high strength Kevlar fibres to reinforce the pad compound for longer pad life. Suitable for riders who prefer the feel of organic pads, but require improved brake performance and extended pad life.
Sintered - This compound provied powerful braking, especially in abrasive weather conditions, and offers the highest level of longevity. Use when extended pad life and durability under the most demanding conditions is required.
